Which of the following represents the graph of the equation y = 1/2x?

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

(B)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's what we know about the equation:

- it's a positive equation

- the y-intercept is (0,0)

- the slope is 1/2

Because the equation is positive, this means the graph will increase up from left to right, so you can cross out answer choice A & D.

To find out if B or C has the right slope, you can either plug in points or use the rise/run method.

I'm going to use both methods to figure out which answer choice is correct:

<u>Plug in points method:</u>

Let's plug in the value 2 in to the equation y = 1/2x.

1/2 * 2 = 1

So at (1,2) the function should include that point.

Only B has (1,2), so that's your answer.

<u>Rise/run method:</u>

Rise/run is a method used to figure out the slope of a function or draw a function on a graph.

Rise corresponds to the numerator. In this case, 1.

Run corresponds to the denominator. In this case, 2.

We are going to start at (0,0) and go up 1 (rising 1 unit) and go 2 to the right (running 2 units). After this, we should arrive at a point on the graph.

Only answer choice B does this.

**Reminder: be careful, the each blue line on the graph ISN'T a whole number interval; it uses 1/2 intervals.

Hope that helps (●'◡'●)

PLEASE HELP ANYONE

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

For this problem all you have to do is plug in the value that they is in parenthesis for x. If it says g (x) = x and then it asks g(5) = ?, it is saying what happens if i put 5 in for every x. in this case it would be g (5) = 5. I just replaced x with 5.

So g (-2) we sub -2 for x
g (-2) = -2 (-2)^2 + 3 (-2) - 5
= -2 (4) - 6 - 5
= -19

g (0) = -2 (0) + 3 (0) - 5
= 0 + 0 - t
= -5

g (3) = -2 (3)^2 + 3 (3) - 5
= -18 + 9 - 5
= -14

If an hourglass takes an average of 1 hour to empty a full cycle, what probability of time does it take longer than 72 minutes i

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

0.82%

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the z-score.

z = (x − μ) / σ

z = (72 − 60) / 5

z = 2.4

Use a chart or calculator to find the probability.

P(Z > 2.4) = 1 − P(Z < 2.4)

P(Z > 2.4) = 1 − 0.9918

P(Z > 2.4) = 0.0082

Write the slip-intercept form of the equation of the line described

kompoz [17]

Answer:

1) y=⅚x -2⅓

2) y=8/3x -5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Point-slope form:</u>

y=mx+c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

Parallel lines have the same gradient.

Gradient of given line= $\frac{5}{6}$

Thus, m=⅚

Susbt. m=⅚ into the equation,

y= ⅚x +c

Since the line passes through the point (4, 1), (4, 1) must satisfy the equation. Thus, substitute (4, 1) into the equation to find c.

When x=4, y=1,

1= ⅚(4) +c

$1 = \frac{20}{6} + c \\ c = 1 - \frac{20}{6} \\ c = 1 - 3 \frac{1}{3} \\ c = - 2 \frac{1}{3}$

Thus the equation of the line is $y = \frac{5}{6} x - 2 \frac{1}{3}$ .

The gradients of perpendicular lines= -1.

Gradient of given line= -⅜

-⅜(gradient of line)= -1

gradient of line

= -1 ÷ (-⅜)

= -1 ×(-8/3)

= $\frac{8}{3}$

$y = \frac{8}{3} x + c$

When x=3, y=3,

$3 = \frac{8}{3} (3) + c \\ 3 = 8 + c \\ c = 3 - 8 \\ c = - 5$

Thus the equation of the line is $y = \frac{8}{3} x - 5$ .
